Anyone know of other languages that support this? Wouter Lievens 10:47, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Strange, I never noticed before you asked: c++ is the only major language I can confirm uses const variables... Maybe it's because it sounds like such an oxymoron. Java seems to have a const keyword, but doesn't use it. Java's final keyword is similar when used with a member variable however. I believe that const may be valid C now since C99, but it'd be better to double-check that. I know of no other language with anything anologous to mutable. Const correctness seems to be a wholly C++ phenomenon. TheIncredibleEdibleOompaLoompa 17:19, 2005 Apr 28 (UTC)
